Technology, for automobiles or for any other automated innovation, means a constantly changing, constantly evolving concept. There are no two years in a row where a single car technology trend makes the rounds in the auto industry. Something new always comes up in the form of a car model. Whether it’s a car, a motorcycle or any other vehicle, because enthusiasts always have something new to delight in. Recently, a host of developments in the field of automotive technology have kept the global automotive industry in an uproar. The following are some of the latest technology trends that will dominate the automotive industry for the foreseeable future.

– Thanks to the so-called iPhone epidemic, automakers are now rushing to replace the analog dials and controls on their car models with superior touchscreen dashboards. All other hybrid vehicles or electric cars introduced these days are equipped with this technological feature.

– Cars and vehicles are now smarter than ever. The universal vehicle network that could range from simple instant traffic announcements and collision alerts to the next-generation digital chaining system has finally come of age. Now, one can easily reach highways without worrying a bit about network conditions.

– Lithium battery technology is waiting to take off. Once automakers around the world start using it fully to build their cars, it will have a huge impact.

– The use of Bioplastics is increasing. Consequently, car manufacturers are upgrading their car technologies to make proper use of this environmentally friendly material.

– Research is underway to find alternatives to corn-based ethanol and other household products to produce a much more affordable and smarter fuel to power the engines of tomorrow.

Other advances in automotive technology include the global positioning system or dual-screen navigation screens powered by GPS technology and in-dash internet screens.
